Abstract

AbstractThree-dimensional structures of temperature focused on Dome Fuji and east Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, simulated in a three-dimensional shallow ice model, are reported. With a geothermal heat flux of 54.6 mWm–2, as used in several modelling studies of the Antarctic ice sheet, and an enhancement factor of 1.3, which is smaller than in previous studies, the model result taking into account the glacial cycles is in good agreement with the borehole temperature and surface topography at Dome Fuji. The basal temperature at Dome Fuji must be at or very close to the pressure-melting point. The simulated amplitude of basal temperature through glacial/interglacial cycles is <1 K.
